Truck
Use this option to set up the individual trucks that distribute your publication. The truck IDs that are assigned here will then be used when defining truck sequences and truck departure orders. See the this chapter’s Introduction for more information about trucks.
Note: Because truck IDs are used in many places in Circulation, changing IDs after setup is a time consuming process. Therefore, be sure to carefully plan your truck delivery system.
